Intensive Preparation for IELTS
Overview
This course is designed for more advanced students who wish to take
the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). The IELTS
exam is recognised by English speaking universities as evidence of
the required level of written and spoken English for entry to both
undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses. Most universities require
a level of IELTS 6.5, so this is generally the target for the course.
Students’ English level should be at least IELTS 5.0 before starting
this course. If a student does not have this level, we would recommend
that they take an Intensive English course until their level is strong
enough to join the IPI class. For more information about IELTS, visit
